Anduril Industries is proud to announce a new collaboration with Microsoft aimed at advancing the U.S. Army’s Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) Program. This partnership includes initial integration of Anduril’s Lattice platform into the IVAS ecosystem, leveraging Anduril’s software and systems integration expertise, to enhance the capabilities fielded to Soldiers through IVAS.
Anduril successfully integrated Lattice into Microsoft’s IVAS hardware and software platform, enabling Soldiers to see real time threats across the battlespace. This integration demonstrates the interoperability and extensibility of the Lattice software and IVAS platform. Soldiers wearing Lattice-enabled IVAS headsets are rapidly warned of incoming autonomously-detected airborne threats, enhancing survivability in complex, contested environments. The integration of Anduril’s systems, alongside third-party technologies, is set to propel the IVAS mission capabilities forward.
Palmer Luckey, Founder of Anduril Industries and Oculus VR, is spearheading this strategic initiative for Anduril. Pairing Palmer’s commercial expertise in VR/AR systems with Anduril’s technology creates expansive additive value for the Army, Soldiers and the IVAS program. “This project is my top priority at Anduril, and it has been for some time now. It’s one of the Army’s most critical programs being fielded in the near future, with the goal of getting the right data to the right people at the right time,” said Palmer Luckey, Founder of Anduril Industries. He continued, “This is Anduril’s bread and butter, and we’ve been building the backbone for this for years. I can’t wait to show our customers what’s next — I’m incredibly excited about what’s to come.”
Robin Seiler, Corporate Vice President of Mixed Reality at Microsoft, added: “IVAS is more than the sum of its parts. Through integration across existing and new software and sensors, IVAS brings a full picture of the battlefield to every soldier, enabling safer and more effective operations. Our collaboration with Anduril to integrate their suite of critical sensors, along with their groundbreaking Lattice system into IVAS, demonstrates the transformative capability of this fighting goggle and will allow us to further expand the impact IVAS will have for every U.S. soldier.”
IVAS is a platform designed to ingest data from a host of sensors, including those integrated on the headset, attached to weapon systems and via third party devices and software, giving Soldiers unprecedented visibility on the battlefield. With the integration of Anduril’s Lattice system, Soldiers will have a significantly enhanced capacity to detect, track and respond to threats in real time while rapidly expanding the mission capabilities available to Soldiers around the world.
